    6
    -  - **example** : `pierov`

    10
    -- `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_MAJOR)` : the Mullvad Browser major version
    
    11
    -  - **example** : `11`
    
    12
    -- `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_MINOR)` : the Mullvad Browser minor version
    
    13
    -  - **example** : either `0` or `5`; Alpha's is always `(Stable + 5) % 10`
    
    14
    -- `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_VERSION)` : the Mullvad Browser version in the format
    
    15
    -  - **example** : `12.5a3`, `12.0.3`
    
    16
    -- `$(BUILD_N)` : a project's build revision within a its branch; this is separate from the `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value; many of the Firefox-related projects have a `$(BUILD_N)` suffix and may differ between projects even when they contribute to the same build.
    
    17
    -    - **example** : `build1`
    
    18
    -- `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` : the mullvad-browser build revision for a given Mullvad Browser release; used in tagging git commits
    
    19
    -    - **example** : `build2`
    
    20
    -    - **NOTE** : A project's `$(BUILD_N)` and `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` may be the same, but it is possible for them to diverge. For **example** :
    
    21
    -      - if we have multiple Mullvad Browser releases on a given ESR branch the two will become out of sync as the `$(BUILD_N)` value will increase, while the `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value may stay at `build1` (but the `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_VERSION)` will increase)
    
    22
    -      - if we have build failures unrelated to `mullvad-browser`, the `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value will increase while the `$(BUILD_N)` will stay the same.
    
    23
    -- `$(MULLVAD_BROWSER_VERSION)` : the published Mullvad Browser version

    79
    -  - [ ] Copy the output of the script to the beginning of `ChangeLog-MB.txt` and adjust its output
    
    41
    +- [ ] Tag `mullvad-browser` in mullvad-browser.git
    
    42
    +  - **example**: `mullvad-browser-128.3.0esr-14.0-1-build1`
    
    43
    +- [ ] Changelog bookkeeping:
    
    44
    +  - [ ] Ensure all commits to `mullvad-browser` and `tor-browser-build` for this release have an associated issue linked to this release preparation issue
    
    45

    46
    +- [ ] Create a release preparation branch from the `main` branch
    
    47
    +- [ ] Run release preparation script:
    
    48
    +  - **NOTE**: You can omit the `--mullvad-browser` argument if this is for a joint Tor and Mullvad Browser release
    
    49
    +  ```bash
    
    50
    +  ./tools/relprep.py --mullvad-browser  --date ${RELEASE_DATE} ${MULLVAD_BROWSER_VERSION}
    
    51
    +  ```
    
    52
    +  - **⚠️ WARNING**: You may need to manually update the `firefox/config` file's `browser_build` field if `mullvad-browser.git` has not yet been tagged (e.g. if security backports have not yet been merged and tagged)
    
    53
    +- [ ] Review build configuration changes:
    
    54
    +  - [ ] `rbm.conf`
    
    55
    +    - [ ] `var/torbrowser_version`: updated to next browser version

    58
    +      - **⚠️ WARNING**: If we have updated `var/torbrowser_build` without updating the `firefox` tag, then we can leave this unchanged to avoid forcing a firefox re-build (e.g. when bumping `var/torbrwoser_build` to build2, build3, etc due to non-firefox related build issues)
    
    59
    +    - [ ] `var/torbrowser_incremental_from`: updated to previous Desktop version

    21
    -    - if we have multiple Tor Browser releases on a given ESR branch the two will become out of sync as the `$(BUILD_N)` value will increase, while the `$(TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value may stay at `build1` (but the `$(TOR_BROWSER_VERSION)` will increase)
    
    22
    -    - if we have build failures unrelated to `tor-browser`, the `$(TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value will increase while the `$(BUILD_N)` will stay the same.

    +- `${BUILD_SERVER}`: the server the main builder is using to build a browser release
    
    7
    +- `${BUILDER}`: whomever is building the release on the ${BUILD_SERVER}
    
    8
    +  - **example**: `pierov`
    
    9
    +- `${STAGING_SERVER}`: the server the signer is using to to run the signing process
    
    10
    +- `${ESR_VERSION}`: the Mozilla defined ESR version, used in various places for building browser tags, labels, etc
    
    11
    +  - **example**: `91.6.0`
    
    12
    +- `${TOR_BROWSER_MAJOR}`: the Tor Browser major version
    
    13
    +  - **example**: `11`
    
    14
    +- `${TOR_BROWSER_MINOR}`: the Tor Browser minor version
    
    15
    +  - **example**: either `0` or `5`; Alpha's is always `(Stable + 5) % 10`
    
    16
    +- `${TOR_BROWSER_VERSION}`: the Tor Browser version in the format
    
    17
    +  - **example**: `12.5a3`, `12.0.3`
    
    18
    +- `${BUILD_N}`: a project's build revision within a its branch; this is separate from the `${TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N}` value; many of the Firefox-related projects have a `${BUILD_N}` suffix and may differ between projects even when they contribute to the same build.
    
    19
    +  - **example**: `build1`
    
    20
    +- `${TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N}`: the tor-browser build revision for a given Tor Browser release; used in tagging git commits
    
    21
    +  - **example**: `build2`
    
    22
    +  - **⚠️ WARNING**: A project's `${BUILD_N}` and `${TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N}` may be the same, but it is possible for them to diverge. For example :
    
    23
    +    - if we have multiple Tor Browser releases on a given ESR branch the two will become out of sync as the `${BUILD_N}` value will increase, while the `${TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N}` value may stay at `build1` (but the `${TOR_BROWSER_VERSION}` will increase)
    
    24
    +    - if we have build failures unrelated to `tor-browser`, the `${TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N}` value will increase while the `${BUILD_N}` will stay the same.
    
    25
    +- `${TOR_BROWSER_VERSION}`: the published Tor Browser version
    
    26
    +    - **example**: `11.5a6`, `11.0.7`
    
    27
    +- `${TBB_BUILD_TAG}`: the `tor-browser-build` build tag used to build a given Tor Browser version
    
    28
    +  - **example**: `tbb-12.5a7-build1`
    
    29
    +- `${RELEASE_DATE}`: the intended release date of this browser release; for ESR schedule-driven releases, this should match the upstream Firefox release date

    43
    +  - [ ] Ensure all commits to `tor-browser` and `tor-browser-build` for this release have an associated issue linked to this release preparation issue
    
    44
    +  - [ ] Ensure each issue has a platform (~Windows, ~MacOS, ~Desktop, ~"All Platforms") and potentially ~"Build System" labels
    
    45
    +- [ ] Create a release preparation branch from the `maint-13.5` branch

    50
    +  - **⚠️ WARNING**: You may need to manually update the `firefox/config` file's `browser_build` field if `tor-browser.git` has not yet been tagged (e.g. if security backports have not yet been merged and tagged)
    
    51

    54
    +    - [ ] `var/torbrowser_build`: updated to `${TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N}`
    
    55
    +    - [ ] `var/browser_release_date`: updated to build date. For the build to be reproducible, the date should be in the past when building.
    
    56
    +      - **⚠️ WARNING**: If we have updated `var/torbrowser_build` without updating the `firefox`, then we can leave this unchanged to avoid forcing a firefox re-build (e.g. when bumping `var/torbrwoser_build` to build2, build3, etc due to non-firefox related build issues)
    
    57
    +    - [ ] ***(Desktop Only)*** `var/torbrowser_incremental_from`: updated to previous Desktop version
    
    58
    +      - **NOTE**: We try to build incrementals for the previous 3 desktop versions
    
    59
    +      - **⚠️ WARNING**: Really *actually* make sure this is the previous Desktop version or else the `make torbrowser-incrementals-*` step will fail
    
    60
    +  - [ ] `projects/firefox/config`
    
    61
    +    - [ ] `browser_build`: updated to match `tor-browser` tag

    -- `$(BUILD_SERVER)` : the server the main builder is using to build a tor-browser release
    
    5
    -- `$(BUILDER)` : whomever is building the release on the $(BUILD_SERVER)
    
    6
    -  - **example** : `pierov`
    
    7
    -- `$(STAGING_SERVER)` : the server the signer is using to to run the signing process
    
    8
    -- `$(ESR_VERSION)` : the Mozilla defined ESR version, used in various places for building tor-browser tags, labels, etc
    
    9
    -  - **example** : `91.6.0`
    
    10
    -- `$(TOR_BROWSER_MAJOR)` : the Tor Browser major version
    
    11
    -  - **example** : `11`
    
    12
    -- `$(TOR_BROWSER_MINOR)` : the Tor Browser minor version
    
    13
    -  - **example** : either `0` or `5`; Alpha's is always `(Stable + 5) % 10`
    
    14
    -- `$(TOR_BROWSER_VERSION)` : the Tor Browser version in the format
    
    15
    -  - **example** : `12.5a3`, `12.0.3`
    
    16
    -- `$(BUILD_N)` : a project's build revision within a its branch; this is separate from the `$(TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value; many of the Firefox-related projects have a `$(BUILD_N)` suffix and may differ between projects even when they contribute to the same build.
    
    17
    -  - **example** : `build1`
    
    18
    -- `$(TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` : the tor-browser build revision for a given Tor Browser release; used in tagging git commits
    
    19
    -  - **example** : `build2`
    
    20
    -  - **NOTE** : A project's `$(BUILD_N)` and `$(TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` may be the same, but it is possible for them to diverge. For example :
    
    21
    -    - if we have multiple Tor Browser releases on a given ESR branch the two will become out of sync as the `$(BUILD_N)` value will increase, while the `$(TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value may stay at `build1` (but the `$(TOR_BROWSER_VERSION)` will increase)
    
    22
    -    - if we have build failures unrelated to `tor-browser`, the `$(TOR_BROWSER_BUILD_N)` value will increase while the `$(BUILD_N)` will stay the same.
    
    23
    -- `$(TOR_BROWSER_VERSION)` : the published Tor Browser version
    
    24
    -    - **example** : `11.5a6`, `11.0.7`
